The weather has been very wet and cold this year so far but training has now commenced, possibly in earnest.
John now has 4 rides under his belt, ranging from 6.5 miles off road to 28.5 on road yesterday.
Maureen has done 2 rides so far, after missing time with knee problems since an arthroscopy. She came back with a bang yesterday by doing 28.5 miles.
Yesterday was our first ride together 28.5 miles [ including a coffee stop!]
Why?
This year, in fact until June 2008, John is President of Penrith Rotary Club. As a personal contribution to club fundraising, and because we want to, we have decided to cycle from Lands End to John o' Groats.We hope to raise lots of money for Cancer Research UK and Eden Valley Children's Hospice in Carlisle UK. The plan is to do the ride in May 2008 without support; just 2 bodies 2 bikes and 4 panniers.
